Football team loses to Rams
The YSHS football team saw some action against the Greeneview Rams on
Friday, Aug. 29, but eventually fell 36–12 to the Jamestown team.
The win was good for the Greene Memorial Hospital rivalry trophy, sponsored
by the sports medicine program that serves Yellow Springs schools through
its ATC, George Sandlin.
The Bulldogs got under hoof in the first quarter when the Rams intercepted
a Bulldog pass for an early touchdown. Raphael Allen received the kick
off from the Rams for a 28-yard gain before being tackled at the 40 yard
line.
The Rams scored again in the second quarter, but Allen blocked the extra
point. Earnest Johnson received the kick off from the Rams and ran for
a 24-yard gain before lightning forced an hour delay. Back on the field,
the Rams forced a Bulldog fumble, which was quickly recovered by Jake
Auten for a 10-yard run. Quarterback Ryan Newsome then threw to Raphael
Allen a 45-yard touchdown pass. The Bulldog extra point was blocked, and
the Rams took the kick off for an 85-yard touch down and an insurmountable
23–6 lead.
The Rams completed two additional touchdowns in the second half, and an
injured Newsome was replaced by Raphael Allen and Joe Fugate sharing quarterback
duties. The Bulldogs managed another touchdown in the fourth quarter,
but the extra point failed, as did any efforts for a last-minute comeback.
For the offense, Ryan Newsome had 20 yard rushing and 70 yards passing;
Raphael Allen had 101 yards rushing, 16 yards passing and 70 yards receiving;
Ernest Johnson had six yards rushing; Ian Wimberly had eight yards receiving;
and Matthew Rowe had 14 yards receiving.

one quarterback sack; Fugate had two solo and two assisted; Ernest Johnson
had six assisted and one sack; Jacob Auten had four assisted; Sam Morrison
had one solo and four assisted; Corey Daniels had two assisted and one
sack; S.J. Scott had four solo behind the Rams line, six assisted and
two sacks; and Levi Amsted and Allen Cox both had four assisted.

first-game jitters, the team came away with a 3–1 victory with scores
of 25–22, 28–26, 17–25, 25–18. The victory was
